[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 82763, member: 696"] Janet, I'm so sorry your relative has died at such a young age. Addiction is a horrible disease. It sounds to me like your nephew works in a correctional facility that houses inmates who are mostly habitual DUI offenders. It doesn't sound like he is a professional though. A professional or one who has been thoroughly educated in disease processes can see where the choice began and the disease took over. It sounds more to me like he sees the same type of individual over and over again. Some doing more damage than others. in my humble opinion when one works in a facility like that, their opinion may become jaded. There were choices that Ant could have made, ie not driving but drinking at home. I think in our society right now, there's not alot of help/assistance available due to funding so there's only containment. That containment is prison. I'm so sorry Ant is drinking so much now and feeling so overwhelmed. It's not surprising to me, but it's still sad. I send you lots of cyber strength as I'm sure this is so painful to watch. [/QUOTE]
